Publications

Following is a chronological list of articles that I published while I was in school at USC and when I was on the research faculty at UCLA. Articles are in high ranking, peer reviewed journals with rejection rates as high as 85-90%. Book chapters were initiated by invitation to be included in the top level edited books of “experts in the field.”
